laws, it was a tough time for all of us, cause we had gone from being a part of something significant to being more obscure. We didn’t do that many shows with Tucker, and Skynyrd wasn’t around. It was just a real odd time in the bands history. But he’s getting his chance to shine now. He’s a really solid con- tributor every night to the band, as a player and a singer and it’s such a joy as a band leader to see someone really blossom and have fun and appreciate the opportunity. His wife is the most delightful woman in the world and he is just a great hang on the bus, and he’s got the funniest laugh.
And like you said earlier, it’s obvious he added a lot to your new album. Oh yeah.
And when it comes down to brass tacks, that is one of the most important things that, I mean other than being able to get along with people, also hav- ing people who have that talent, ya know, that talent has to be there and it’s so obvious, but anyway, I don’t want to kick Grisham to death here, but anyway, I was happy about that. You already spoke about a couple of
guys in the group, but I wanted you to address to people who may not know The Outlaws a little bit about each guy in the band. Well, Dale Oliver and I played together for 20 years in Blackhawk and he and I co-produced artists in Nashville. We wrote songs together, we worked on Blackhawk projects together, he was an interactal member of the Black- hawk band. He and I have a past that goes back to ‘92. Randy Threet is the snazzy-ass bass player, a great singer, and has been in the Blackhawk organization since 1998 and he has been in the Outlaws since 2005. So, Randy is the longest running bass player in the band’s history, and he has made a signifi- cant impression with his playing and his singing on both It’s About Pride, Dixie High- way” and of course Legacy Live. Dave Rob- bins, my partner from Blackhawk, great singer, great songwriter, great musician. He’s kinda stuck in the back there, ya know, out of the guitar band line up, but contributes mightily with his B3 playing and his voice. He really contributes a great deal in the studio for arrangement ideas. He and I wrote a thing or two on the It’s About Pride record. He’s just a great musical personality and a great talent. Jaron Sorenson was Dale Oliver’s, I
